  1. Got a group of conifers to reduce but has a power line pole inside. They appear to be insulated but I will still need to be very close to it( with in 1-2ft). Now tbh I don't really want the job if it's dangerous plus it's in too cheap. Question is is it dangerous? Hopefully te pictures will come up. One is the adjacent pole to show how it looks as the other is buried in the tree. Cheers
  2. Which looks like it's probably double the price if u bought it in the states. Rip off Britan again?
  3. Man that Dodge Ram is £63450!!!! Makes the Dmax look cheap!
  4. Hi Guys. Yes i mean the discharge chute. As mentioned the timberwolf has no means to prevent the engine from been started anyway. Like said once the blocked chipper has been cleared out spark her up and let it snow chip! Ive been taking it off daily for the last 10 yrs or so so its not the end of the world but i always like to see if i can make minor improvements to my daily life. save 2 mins a day, 5 days a week then over a year it adds up a bit. Be nice to be able to quickly fold it down and be done. Cheers Guys

  6. Yes i went to roger young too, when i hit 33k +vat i decided to stop there. and that wasnt really anything that special, tipper tool box ( uprate the suspension) and spray it black. it just got silly! orange one looks good though
  7. Ill second that request for a f150. Keep thinking could i live with lhd.
  8. You were selling it to me right up to the bit about killing the council man lol!
  9. I know green mech used to do them ( stopping now due to H&S i believe) but has anybody done this to other brands? I am looking to see if this is a option on a timberwolf 230. I have to take mine off every day for storage and its a PITA. cheers
  10. how soon you looking to get a bigger machine. looking to sell my tw125 on in about 6 weeks time. Cracking machines.
  11. get wet. and moan as well as it would be rude not too.
  12. I always deal with Stuart at Lister widler Reading. Top bloke. bought 2 chippers from him and toying with a 230 now. If he wasnt good i wouldnt go back!
  13. had a thing a few years ago where my wife hit another car when driving mine as a additional driver. 4 years later i was getting the company truck insured (commercial use) . Ignored my clean license and 15 yrs no claim bonus. But added £1000 when i told them about the accident my wife had even though she is not on my company insurance. So yes any excuse they will ramp up the insurance premium.
  14. have a harkie Sweat my nuts off in 5 minutes of putting it on. wouldnt buy another. how warm is the cut and climb compared to it i dont know but if its close id rather get wet ( which i do anyway from the sweat!)
  15. i had a demo on the bandit but went for the 460. Bandit was a solid machine and big! although it can go narrow its a big machine. I personally didnt feel comfy with it, i couldnt seem to see where i was grinding. The 460 i can see a lot more. Dead from Global was brilliant though. Top man that. 460 drive is electric, not the smoothest but nothing major. u get use to it pretty quick. a graduated drive ( so it dont just go ahead full speed would be good and was the only feedback i have really for preadator). cables can get stuck but a bit of lube or even new cables isnt a major deal. Try them and u should be able to decide for yourself.
  16. heard on the radio the head of the school ofcom or what ever it is saying that he doesnt agree with going during term and beside its only a little bit more expensive during term time. Not sure what planet hes on but ive seen it as a minimum of 3 times more expensive, often 4 time the cost to go during the holiday time. if like me a fine of 120 or even 240 does little to put me off if the holiday dates push the costs up by thousands ( im a family of 4). as an example few years back after a family tragedy i wanted to take the family to see my mother on the half term week. all that was needed was flights, nothing else. £6000 week after half term £1600. And to add insult to it all they say you have to wait till they finish the education years if you dont want to pay the fines. When my kids r 18 i doubt ill be playing on the beach with them. Whilest ranting i cant understand why the teachers have to have teacher training days right after having the school term holidays? say summer they have 6 weeks off then take another day to do training. wasnt 6 weeks enough already( thats just one of the many holidays they have off too).
  17. i had a 13 mm spanner once, in fact still got it in the garage!
  18. hi guys Yes im still going, all things are good. Yes the landy looked good, was great off road but just kept breaking! Glad the vauxhall body come in use. My old chip body is still going well on the vauxhall, got to say touch wood no major issues really. Hope all is well for you guys
  19. land rover defender 130. was a money pit. kept throwing the money at it, damn thing was nearly a new truck by the time i got rid of it. every month i would say that must be it. then something else would go. got a LDV after that, another pain in the rear. served its time but got to the point in the end where it didnt make sense to keep it either. had a new transit but the gypsies nicked that just over a yr later. Thanks ford for not telling me they were so easy to steal! got a vauxhall now as i hope the gypsies wont be so interested.
  20. ive also got a CS100 for sale. Great machine and sounds exactly what u need to move forward ( a chipper that is, not necessarily mine).
  21. its something i would consider in certain situations. i am a small set up without the bigger machinery so i would definitely use it if made logistical sense. but as said if u were investing in the kit just for this then no. As a side line yes, sole venture no. Too many established firms existing that could do this already ( as already have the kit) but dont seem too. Must be a reason for that.
  22. If u want it all go American! 10k will get u a jeep commander carry 7 in comfort, meant to be excellent off road and loads of grunt. 3l v6 or 5.7v8 Only down side a bit juicy ( mines about 20mpg or so) ultra comfy and comes with all the toys! If u can handle left hand drive then a f150 or so.
  23. jose
